It is a little bland - I agree. It's a hell of a lot faster than trying to tap on tiny thread titles and frequently zoom around IMO. It does have a few drawbacks too though (no polls or youtube vids).

Thanks for the response. Tiny titles aren't too bad on the nexus. I just tap in the vicinity of what I'm trying to get at and a magnify bubble pops up. Need that YouTube too. Think I'll spend my buck on the x-men arcade game from the 90's.
